Do you ever feel frustrated when your teen comes to you with a problem, but then shuts down the moment you share your advice?

You’re not alone. Many moms fall into “fix-it mode,” believing solutions will strengthen the bond—but the truth is, your teen craves understanding, not instructions. In this episode, we explore why advice-giving often backfires and how listening can transform your relationship.

By tuning in, you’ll discover:

  • Why listening builds trust and connection more effectively than advice.
  • The hidden reasons moms struggle to stop fixing and start hearing.
  • Practical ways to shift into listening mode so your teen feels safe opening up.

Press play now to learn how to trade frustration for connection by becoming the listener your teen truly needs.

Discover how you naturally respond in high-stress parenting moments—and how to shift back to calm, connected communication. Take the quiz now—it only takes a minute!
